Two 5 Minute Cards

I’m in the mood for some card making today, I spend a lot of time watching tutorials/videos on YouTube and that can sometimes take over the time I have to actually craft, it can start with one video and before you know it the evening has gone and it’s time for bed. So today I decided that I was going to get my kit out and create some cards, no YouTube just enjoy my time crafting.

So I have picked out these the 3 papers, I’ll use the top two as my backgrounds and the base one I will just take two of the borders to add to my layering.

And of course I need to use the pear tree cut files stencil.

The distress oxide fossilised amber came out a perfect match to the orange tones in the paper.

I only used the two sheets of paper for both cards, I cut panels from each sheet and set them out on my cards and once I was happy with the layout I glued them in place.

I adore the cricket border and had to also fussy cut one of the little guys out to use as an embellishment.

These I used on my first card along the centre and for the second card I used the tree border and glued them in place as my second layer.

It was missing something, so I took the grid paper and used that to layer my two center pieces before glueing them to my cards.

This card reminded me of patchwork so I added the faux stitching around each panel using my colic marker to finish it off.

I may go ahead and do the same on this one as well as I like how the end result looked. What do you think, with or without the faux stitching??

Thankyou for taking the time to read this and I’d love to see your makes. I’m now of to make some more cards xx
